Answer: D. Jackson stole something that was particularly valuable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A felony is a crime punishable by imprisonment which is usually a year and above or by a death penalty. Some of common felonies are fraud, robbery, forgery, domestic violence etc.

Since the prosecutor decides to charge Jackson with a felony for this criminal act, the best explanation for this might be that Jackson stole something that was particularly valuable.
